Is there one out there worth buying that costs less than $100?

Friend 'n Buddy of Bear,
I dont think so. There are some cheap ones made in Korea 'n in the Philipines, but if ya jest aint ready ta come off that dough, I figger ya mite look at James' airguns.

Hiz Chinese guns are purty good quality. The B22 is one like my RWS 48 in .22 except it haz a purtier stock. I know a heap a folks are happy with theirs. Tell him I sent ya 'n he mite knock some money off....'er mebbe charge ya extra. :mrgreen:
The target part worries me. Bunnies 'n squirrels will drop, but if ya aim ta put 'em in one hole at 25 yards, we need ta talk some more.
Wally World carries some, but without a tune, I never heard of any of 'em bein' "target" guns. Most people who git a tune, dont buy a cheap gun. I dont figger ya kin have a real target gun without a trigger job. Even my rimfire Slavia 452 needed a trigger job.
I got a Slavia 631 in .177 that is a fine target gun if yer eyes aint bad like mine. [It dont take much ta whack a bunny.....but it does fer a red squirrel.] I had truble mountin' a scope on my 631. It come with a lube tune fer bout $112. Slavia quit makin' the 631, but they mite a started back.

Got a H&R 12 gauge with shortened barrel. (to the legal limit) I knocked the muzzle on the blind once and ended the hunt without a shot. Deer seem to know the sound of a gun striking wood. I have gotten turkeys with the shortened barrel. My other is a Mossberg 12 gauge. Rather than target, I probably shoud have said plinking. While I was the battalion machine gun instructor, I never did qualify any better than sharpshooter with the rifle and expert with the .45. 6 black powder rifles, 2 blackpowder pistols, 2 shotguns and a Ruger 10/22 so I figured I needed an air rifle in case the bows didn't work.
Friend & Bear's Buddy,
Shotgun shells put a lotta lead in the meat. A pellet iz quiet 'n dont mess it up. If ya aim ta eat a dove, I figger a head shot with a pellet beats #8 anyday. Shootin' 'em on the fly iz more of a game than huntin' fer food.
Plinkin' iz a mitey fine way ta spend an afternoon. Pellet gun plinkin' iz legal in most towns, but ya better be sho 'n ya better make sho ya dont miss 'n hit somethin' ya dont mean ta hit. I seen railroad tie backstops, dirt mounds, big pellet traps made outta steel, 'n other kinds. If ya shoot yer neighbors (or their windows), it will likely mean truble.
Warnin': Airguns aint no different than homemade boats. Once ya git started, ya gwine ta git a better one. Next thing its "hi, my name is bearridge, I got a powerful hankerin' fer airguns".
Ya will likely save yerself some dough if ya buy a purty nice one rite off.
I reckon ya seen this iz the first time I stayed on a topic frum top ta bottom? :mrgreen:

The quiet and indoor use were the factors that led me to consider an air rifle. The .22 sounds like a better choice for hunting. A pellet trap would allow me to do something in the garage when its too cold for epoxy.

I use to hunt with a 22 Crossman ( (1950 ) but now days I am punching holes in cardboard with a new Benjamin 177 and telescopic sights, adjustable , just for fun.
Also have the handguns of the same caliber but they are just for fun and pure He&& on beer cans placed out in the back yard.
Yes , I do take one of them with me on camping trips but I also take a Mag with me .......... One for fun and one for idiots, will not say which is which about the caliber.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
There are some things ..best not said.......... :wink:

Done sprung for two Chinese made pellet puffers in .177 cal. At 19.99 each I was pleased that the rifle shoots about 900 fps (the pistol shoots pellets I can outrun if I remember to use my cane). :lol: Funnzies poking holes in the paper targets in the garage... Not suitable for hunting obviously.

I whack surly red tree rats with a .177 that dont give much over 600 fps. Ya gotta put the pellet in the rite spot, but with a good Swift scope, squirrels fall purty reglar round here. A .22 'n that much power will put a lot more hurt on 'em.

Gerry.... I would look out and double check those targets , if you have to on line it is my guess it would be pure HE*% on your computers monitor when you shoot at them. Especially if you are a good shot and hit what you shoot at. :lol:

WowChuck's right -- No muzzle flash. This is the first time I ever seen a target flash when hit (other than NVA targets).oldsparkey said:bearridge said:BEARS BUDDY said:Funnzies poking holes in the paper targets in the garage... Not suitable for hunting obviously.

bearridge--where's them targets? Don't tell Chuck he should print them and shoot at the prints. He's keeping a whole factory going building replacement computer monitors. :mrgreen:
GERRY! Caution. Don't shoot directly at the target pictures on your computer screen. First - print them out.
Then tape them up onto your screen.
